SUBJECT: Postdoctoral Researcher in Solar Physics
Postdoctoral Researcher in Solar Physics
Applications close April 8
A postdoctoral research fellow is sought to play a major role in the Australian Research Council funded project "Seismology of solar and stellar magnetic activity" led by Professor Paul Cally, focusing on:
* Oscillations in near-surface magnetically dominated regions
* MHD mode conversion
* Applying and adapting local helioseismic techniques
* Numerical simulation
The successful candidate will join the Centre for Stellar and Planetary Astrophysics (CSPA) at Monash, a substantial and growing community of astronomers and astrophysicists working in several areas including solar and stellar physics. CSPA is jointly hosted by the School of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Physics. The position is for three years and ideally will begin in July 2011.
A doctoral degree in applied mathematics, physics, astronomy, or related field and expertise in solar physics or magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is essential. Experience in helioseismology and computational MHD is highly desirable.
